Nerdy Girls? Yes or No?

Would you rather have a nerdy significant other who knows how to play D&D? Someone who has hundreds of Magic The Gathering cards and knows how to use them? One that likes to watch anime in Japanese and read manga? One that can sit next to you and game on her PC cause she has a steam library full of games?

Or would you rather have someone who detests all of those things and absolutely hates them? She would rather you quit playing your dumb games and spend quality time with her.

I would have loved to have had a girlfriend with any or all of those interests. I have a mix of interests, some are nerdy and some are not, so it would actually be good to have a nerdy girlfriend for the nerdy ones.

For guys, a nerdy girlfriend who shares your interests is great because you spend more time with her doing stuff you both like (so you avoid having to compromise on some stuff) , plus she can hang out with you when your equally nerdy friends are around, meaning you don't get complaints about having them over or going to their place and doing nerdy things that exclude her or she wishes to exclude herself from. Win-win for guys with nerdy interests. I say hooray for nerdy girls...

I also agree, the only issue I found is that a lot of the nerdy girls dont take the best care of their bodies (the same goes for guys). I've found many girls that have similar interests but i simply wasn't physically attracted to them to continue to pursue it

I like nerdy girls because we tend to have a lot in common, but you have to be careful with serious gamers. A lot of the time, they lack ambition outside video games and aren't very responsible--which is especially problematic if they aren't even good enough at the one thing they pour themselves into to make a living out of it.

Don't get me wrong, I love video games, anime, and manga, and although I haven't played D&D it sounds like a blast, but she's gotta have a life outside of those things. She's gotta have a job that pays well enough for her to support herself and pay her share of the rent, and there would be times that I wanted to go out, and I'd need a girl that was willing to join me every now and then.

A nerd was usually a scientifically inclined person who might have dabbled in stuff like D&D.

Geeks usually would dabble in stuff like D&D but are not necessarily scientifically inclined.

In your defense, there is no fine demarcation line though.

I was definitely a nerd. I excelled at all STEM topics and could quote (and prefer) original Star Trek over Star Wars. D&D and most card games like Magick have little interest to me.

Those who prefer Star Wars over Star Trek are usually geeks because Star Wars is just a bunch of horseshit in space. (That said, I still enjoy the movies.)

I guess one way to look at it is in something called "suspension of disbelief". Nerds have a higher threshhold for suspension of disbelief. For example, a nerd could accept faster-than-light travel, but not talking dragons. Geeks have no problems with talking dragons.

Anyway, you get your nerd/geek/dweebs in two different flavors (usually):Type 1. Those who prefer (real) science fiction (such as hard science fiction) over fantasy. These people are usually employed in STEM fields.Type 2. Those who embrace fantasy (like D&D and GoT) more. These people may also be in STEM fields but are also likely to be in non-STEM fields.

Anyway, I prefer Type 1 but would date Type 2 but I won't do D&D with her. Playing D&D was an hour from my life in 1981 that I cannot get back.

A nice mix would probably be the best for me. But I certainly would not mind having a girlfriend that I could play with, without feeling like it's a thing she does just because I do it. (Which was the case with me ex)
